NewGuy, My grill guard has saved my front end countless times-very glad to have it. I will probably add to it/beef it up sometime as well. Need to get off my rear and fab a guard for my hood release soon.... Is the hood release on the 2011 5035's underneath, up front on the left side like mine? Anyway, must fix for me or it will get torn off.....
Bascom, my 5035 is a 2010 leftover... dealer purchased it in the fall of '09 and it sat over the winter. I got it the following April. My hood releases the same as yours... lower left front knob. Only have to open to connect/disconnect the battery tender plus I keep on it as it is garaged, but not heated.
